I'm pretty sure that this is not where it's gonna be. There's no rink at the place where the map shows. It's the very centre of Budapest and that's why it's shown. That website only says that the event is going to be in Budapest.

In 2004 the EC was in Budapest. That year it was held in Papp László Budapest Sports Arena. Kings on Ice in 2011 was also organised here. My guess is that the EC next year will also be held here but I'm not sure. I haven't read it anywhere yet where it will be organised.

Yes, the competition will be held in Papp László Budapest Sports Arena, but we can find hotels in that website, and some other informations.

The Hotel which directly connected to the ice rink and the whole event is: Hotel Arena.
There is a direct passage to the ice rink from there.
I'm sure all competitors and officials will also stay there. The Hotel has something like 250 rooms or so.

When we booked in Zagreb at the official hotel directly opposite of the arena, the hotel was empty and it was months ago. Then two weeks before Euros, hotel cancelled our reservation claiming overbooking and that ISU wants only athletes etc there, while we knew people who stayed there anyway. My advice is to book an alternative hotel too.

That's unacceptable. And shady.
Very much like some hotels in Sochi that I made points reservations for 2014. They unconfirmed my reservations, claiming it was special occasion blah blah.
